In my neighborhood I have mostly P.Californicus, followed by D. Insanus. Argentines own my property though. Nothing else survives in my yard For long.

Lasius. of some sort I believe L. aliensus (possibly cf. niger) They are everywhere. Second by Tetramorium sp. e , L. neoniger and Myrmica. Possibly Formica and Camponotus come next.

Not at all, Myrmica scabrinodis is only to find on xerothermal habitats, the others like more humid areas.

You have L. luctuosum in your area? I thought they were only at high elevation, do you live in the mountains?

Camponotus fragilis

Novomessor cockerelli

Pogonomyrmex montanus

Pogonomyrmex rugosus

Manica bradleyi
